This definitely has an old school chase video vibe. I miss your longer form vids.

Quick thing re: the importance of sunglasses: it’s important to both protect your eyes and get some sun exposure! The latter may support mental health, while the former is important for preserving vision (e.g., preventing macular degeneration). No intention to be a party pooper (and of course take this with a grain of salt and a google search), just advocating for folks to do what works best for them.

Came here to get some ideas to decrease my anxiety about traveling, got free therapy. Cant thank you enough. Simplicity is the one thing I'll be sure to pack.

“I hope you fall in love, I hope you get your heart broken” that’s it right there, without those two, life is not fully lived. Thanks for that, Chase!

My mom’s in the hospital and I was able to listen to this while driving home and dreaming of a trip. So wonderful to listen to someone who brings so much personal perspective to the travel experience. The gear is just a catalyst, not the end-all-be-all. Thank you for sharing and all that you do for us travel freaks.

Chase got me into under seat one backpack years ago. I haven't looked back since. I found 35 liters is the max that fits under a seat (non European airlines) but you have no leg room. I went down to 28, 25, and then landed on a 20 liter bag. I absolutely love traveling with the Alpher one niner Whitley. The one item I bring with me that Chase didn't mention is a stretchy laundry line. I can't afford Merino wool yet so I buy quick dry clothes from Ross and pack two outfits plus sleeping shorts. I wash the clothes I wear each night and hang dry them. I'll put on the semi clean one and repeat until the end of the trip. I usually pack one soft T-shirt for the flight home though. I've used many of Chase's tips. They work. If you're new to traveling give them a try.

This is such a freaking GOOOOD video man. Just last night, I was on the fence about taking a weekend trip to So Cal to check out see friends and check out Palm Springs. After watching your video, I can’t believe I even hesitated for a second lol it’s a one hour flight, the flights are on sale, I can one-bag it, and it’s just a no-brainer. This video was so impactful. I love your longer videos. There are so many incredible nuggets of wisdom sprinkled throughout. Much love. Much appreciated.

When you’re making notes about your life, it can affect how you live. Thank you for being an inspiration Chase! 🙏🏼

Currently at a coffee shop with my pup working on some artwork. Listening to the video has me day dreaming of eventually quitting my day job and having the ability to just work from anywhere. Always love these travel tip and bag videos!

Traveling with soap is helpful for when you go on that Danube River day cruise like I just did today in Budapest and there was no toilet paper or soap and we were about to eat finger sandwiches. That’s where the flushable wipes and a little liquid soap can make all the difference.

"Because we go to travel, to change, to learn, to grow, and to come back to where we're from and see it... fresh." well said Chase! Just got back from a 30 day walk with just a small backpack and I couldn't really put my finger on why it is so nice to travel with less stuff but this communicates it so nicely. Thank you!

[MichaelUnbroken]

Dude. I've lived in a dozen countries..traveled two bags for years..watching this for one reason....you crush it. And you nailed being satisfied with less.

[lynuslyneburg]

The last 3 minutes is why I love coming back to listen to this guy! Great packing tips and even greater life messages!

[phnxryse]

This Pakt bag is my absolute favorite backpack to have for travel…a weekend trip or euro trip, it’s awesome! And yes being hands free is the ultimate

[kal]

maan, this video couldn't be more perfectly timed. i'm hitting the road for the next 6 months to work remotely with my girlfriend & dog, and i'm currently packing. you've set the perfect challenge to not let the sh*t i own own me on this trip. thanks chase.

[rbtz]

Those last few sentences you spoke, dude, i actually choked up. Bravo Chase.

[geoffreybalasi]

This was so fantastic. Some really great take aways. Got emotional at the end and can’t wait for my next trip. Thanks Chase, you’re a real one.

I have planned a 16 day trip around the world next month and I will be travelling with a 32L backpack (with a packable day bag for extended layovers). All but one of my flights allow carry-on and personal, but one only allows a personal item so I’m trying to I’m trying to go minimalistic. This video made me realize that it is possible to achieve it. Thank you and keep up the good work!

[geoffreydalson]

I always appreciate the wise words you share in your videos. Thanks for breaking thru the BS and talking about the stuff that matters.

[melissatravelgal]
